fortunately and unfortunately

He got into his car to go on a long drive.


unfortunately there was no way to take the car out, being as it was sandwiched between other cars
fortunately he had many ideas up his sleeve
unfortunately all of them would fail, even if he tried, and he got tired from just thinking through
fortunately he could sleep cozily and rested himself on the wheel
unfortunately it made a blaring noise, one that got all the 457 residents of the apt complex to see what the fuss was
fortunately it also brought out the one guy who promptly moved his car to show him his escape route
unfortunately he had to bear the grunt of all the other disgruntled people
fortunately he stepped on the wheel and was far away from the maddening crowd
unfortunately the yellow flashing indicator warned him that he would be running out of gas soon
fortunately he knew there was a gas station nearby
unfortunately they were closed, it being a day for protesting that today was Tuesday
fortunately he stopped the car by the kerb and set out on foot
unfortunately he had barely walked a few steps, when he began feeling thirsty
fortunately he sighted a juice shop just around the corner
unfortunately they didn't have custard apple, something that would have been ideal for this weather
fortunately there was this pretty girl sipping an orange drink. Heck who-ever cared for custard apple?
unfortunately she was already with someone, one who was now giving him more attention that he was giving her
fortunately he began to hum a song and look up at the skies
unfortunately they didn't like it either and rewarded him with a thunderous spell of rain
fortunately he loved the rain and continued his upward stare
unfortunately they realized it and the rain ceased. who-ever heard of such quick justice?
fortunately refreshed again, he set out where his foot took him to
unfortunately his foot hit a big rock, that hurt him bad, as in real bad
fortunately he looked down and found a ring, a gold ring at that
unfortunately he had barely taken it in his hand, when a women arrived on spot and claimed it as hers
fortunately she was young and gorgeous
unfortunately she had a nasty temper
fortunately he parted away with the ring and the foul mouthed lady
unfortunately she cursed him even after he had handed over the ring voluntarily
fortunately another lady arrived on the spot and started defending him, and cursing the other automatically
unfortunately a fight ensued between the two pretty ones
fortunately he sat down to watch and wonder what they were fighting over, the ring or him
unfortunately the juice stall guy had also moved in with his mobile store and a lot of on-lookers, he no longer had his private balcony seat
fortunately the fight ended and the second lady came over to him and said a hi
unfortunately he couldn't place her, though she looked familiar
fortunately she offered to explain it all at the nearby pub
unfortunately his instinct was buzzing like mad with the red warning signals filling his face
fortunately he ignored it, and went into the pub
unfortunately they couldn't get the seat they wanted
fortunately they found another cozy corner
unfortunately it was too close to the speakers and they couldn't talk
fortunately he was getting drunk and nodding as if he understood everything
unfortunately about 10 men barged into the pub, raising slogans and protesting about the influence of western culture
fortunately the pub had bouncers, hee hee good bouncers. hic! hic!
unfortunately they were outnumbered and the bouncers were as helpless like old women
fortunately the pub had a lot of young women. surely they would be courteous to all?
unfortunately they began pulling the hair out of the young women and were now approaching his terrified companion
fortunately he was so drunk, that he grabbed a beer bottle, broke it into smithereens to use it as a weapon
unfortunately he had broken it so much, there was hardly anything left to fight with
fortunately she handed him another bottle
unfortunately the crowd around him was growing bigger and they were encircling him now like vultures
fortunately he was so drunk, their numbers didn't matter, they didn't add up anyway
unfortunately one of them landed him a big blow on his jaw
fortunately he went flying and landed on four of them, knocking them cold
unfortunately the knocker was preparing himself for a second round of blows
fortunately he hurled the bottle at him
unfortunately it missed him and landed on the wall where some famous rock star sitting on a bike was playing bgm with his guitar to the massacre
fortunately she was helping him to his feet now
unfortunately the four cold guys were also turning hot now
fortunately the rest of the pub dwellers had now rallied by his side
unfortunately most of them were drunk and had no energy to pack a punch
fortunately he thought of appeasing the mob and explaining the virtues of embracing multiple cultures
unfortunately they had been so brainwashed, they nodded their heads in refusal
fortunately he waved a inviting scotch bottle at them in front of their eyes. hic!
unfortunately it wasn't their brand
fortunately they were willing to try it, and the entire pub reveled in one big drunken orgy
unfortunately she was dragging him out now, just as he was getting to know his new friends better
fortunately he had gotten sober and walked out into the night with her
...
unfortunately he woke up with a splitting headache
fortunately he saw that the cars had moved away, drove away merrily
